Here is the original picture of Hitchcock's Birds.












In this 4x6", I decided to take the clarity out nearly completely and saturate the actresses. Almost looks painted now.
The original of Michael Jackson's Thriller.





This one, I tried to dull the colors around the main two to make them stand out more.  This mainly involved zooming in to get the gaps between them.

Logo

This is the logo I made for MGD102. I decided on this pinwheel design because I had once asked the instructor on how to make an object overlap with itself. So, this was my first successful attempt.

Today in multimedia

I always hate figuring out how to start a post, so I think I will start this one by complaining about having to start a post. I am writing about today's class where we learned to utilize Adobe Illustrator to make a postcard. It was the single greatest thing ever created. I assume this because the teacher's example paled in comparison.

I would post the image, but I don't feel the need to humiliate myself, I mean my teacher... Instead, here is another, less mind-blowing postcard.

Welcome!

Simple enough question... What is a blog?

Well, I have always been critical of random people putting their lives on the web with the hope of gaining an infinite amount of invisible friends (or worst, fans). However, I suppose I am hypercritical and should think of it in the nicer light. A blog, as I hope to utilize it, is an online repository for my life to be shared with distant friends and family.

Now, the next obvious question is why not just use certain social media sites? Well, maybe it is solely preference, a hatred of game invites, or the countless other reasons. For me, the reason is actually provided. This is a requirement for my Introduction to Multimedia course. Do not take that as a jaded, halfhearted response. I plan on figuring out how blogging can help me to express myself, and look forward to proving myself a hypocrite inevitably.
